Good news regarding Texas A&M Baseball’s roster could be in the works, as TexAgs’ reporter Ryan Brauninger, one of the more reliable sources in the Aggies media sphere, has reported that Texas A&M star closer Evan Aschenbeck is attempting to return to the program for a final season.
As the best season in Aggie Baseball history comes to a close, the news that third-year head coach Jim Schlossnagle would leave the program just a day after A&M’s College World Series Finals loss to Tennessee sent shockwaves through the sports media landscape while confusing a majority of the roster.
While most of the Aggies’ roster had their suspicions, loyalty to the program never wavered, despite nearly a dozen players entering the transfer portal before a new head coach was eventually announced.
Aschenbeck, who is coming off his best season yet, is looking to obtain a final season of eligibility after his last two seasons in College Station after transferring from Blinn Community College.
A First Team All-American, the senior was named “Stopper of the Year” after serving as a consistent impasse for every opponent he faced during the 2024 campaign, leading the country with a 1.78 ERA and 87 strikeouts. This could be the start of a significant trend of nearly every player from the 2024 roster returning to run it back in 2025.
Wow. Interesting stuff here from Brauny. It appears First Team All-American reliever Evan Aschenbeck is trying to return to @AggieBaseball for another season.
On another note, I've been told A&M has a very solid shot to keep almost every player in the portal. We shall see. https://t.co/AtYJKhHaah
